Stand Up Paddleboarding or SUPing to the pros is a relatively new adaption of the water+board family. Heading down on the DART south of Dublin, I soon arrived at Dun Loaghaire and from the station I was at Aboveboard within a couple minutes. I was greeted by Richard, the Venezuelan who would be guiding around […]

So it’s coming up to 8 weeks in Dublin, I think I know it well enough to give a fair review. Dublin is cold and wet on the whole – it’s not a place you go to for a summer holiday. It’s also not got a whole load of adventure/adrenalin sports or activities (there’s a […]

SOUTH Heading out of Dublin south will treat you some incredible coastal views. Once you get through the sprawl of […]
